I find a topological arrangement of assets traded in a phonographic market which has associated a meaningful economic taxonomy. I continue using the Minimal Spanning Tree and the Life-time Of Correlations between assets, but now outside the stock markets. This is the first attempt to use these methods on phonographic market where we have artists instead of stocks. The value of an artist is defi...

Visual objects are viewed as a prime example of hierarchical structure; they can be dened as “multilevel hierarchical structure of parts and wholes” (Palmer 1977). For instance, a human body is composed of parts—head, legs, arms, etc., which in turn are composed of parts—eyes, nose, and so forth. €e perceptual relations between wholes and their component parts have been a controversial issue f...

This chapter first of all reviews the organizational theory of new institutional economics in order to pave the way in literature and methodology for the study of water governance structure. Then, it proceeds with the basic implications of water governance and finds that the most important output of water governance is to ensure water security. The collective actions for this purpose result in ...

In this paper we considered the method of describing the telecommunication system providing VoD services using hierarchical structure with optimization and security features. Today we have seen that many times, during the downloading process of various videos, there will be disturbance or hanging and failures due to the low bandwith and other technical problems. In this paper we are proposing s...

Object recognition is one of the most challenging problems in the field of computer vision. Although recent approaches have shown promising results, such approaches are specialized in each recognition task. Therefore they cannot be extended many other recognition tasks. To integrate many types of recognition, we propose a novel recognition method which uses hierarchical structure. Our experimen...

on a hierarchical organization of the data management control function and makes use of list processing concepts. Discussed are the separation of the logical and physical control functions as well as the data-element and operating-system controls. This hierarchical approach establishes a common basis for the creation, maintenance, and retrieval of data in direct-access storage. Logical function...

conclusions it was noted that a relatively high prevalence of growth failure was observed in the study sample. for minimizing the impact of significant risk factors on growth failure, the early detection of growth failure and its risk indicators is of great importance. in addition, when the focus of the analysis is on the different nested sources of variability and the data has a hierarchical s...
